Sandra Haight Poet Couplet

Crumbling Matrix

What is this strange place we find ourselves in?
Trapped in the open- we are free within.
Somehow the norms we always saw as true-
have been displaced by those we're not used to.

Some rules we follow for our country's sake
no longer held as true, replaced as fake!
A new world order- now our leaders crave-
and yet, within we know we must stay brave.

Free speech, our Bill Of Rights, grants one and all
to speak our minds on all things large and small.
But now, we're punished to express known truth
as those in charge may deem as so uncouth.

The matrix we are asked to now uphold
defies our Constitution's clear-cut mold.
And so we find our ways to follow creeds
our Constitution verifies as needs.

The underground of free-speech websites grant
safe haven for we patriots who can't
express ourselves- the truths we still adhere
without the thought of being silenced-fear.

There, lives support for spreading freedom's spin-
trapped in the open- we are free within.

Rico Leffanta March 24, 2022 at 11:37 AM As predicted by George Washington, instead of voting for the best person to do the job, we are now required to vote for a person selected by a political party who will ignore constituents and the needs of the nation to support a government of the Party, by the Party, and for the Party . . . .Aloha!
